What is your #DailyCreate?

I finally got around to exploring the ins and outs of DS106, a Digital Storytelling MOOC from The University of Mary Washington. It made me think that we are in desperate need of a #DailyCreate in all of learning environments.

We Are Called To Be Open Spokes in a Fidgital World

This video is a reaction to Rodd Lucier combined with an idea I had a couple of years ago. We should be open spokes on the wheel of learning, capable of connecting the core to the ground.

Change Comes From Open Conversations With Learners

I had the opportunity to ask my 6 year old about her learning this morning. I was not disappointed, and you too will not be if you have the same conversation with the learners in your care.

No Teacher Should Have To Learn Alone

I hope we create a community around everyone who feels alone in their teaching or learning.

We should surround their pain and support them as they heal.

We should do this because it is the thing that matters most when you are passionately trying to create.

This vlog is very personal in nature because of how vulnerable the original video I am responding to was.

Who Is Your Secondary Learning Audience?

As a response to both Tim Villegas and Kevin Honeycutt, this is where I think the conversation around managing our digital learning lives should go. I discuss why we should feel a sense of professional responsibility to curate our learning for others. We should always feel a responsibility to our primary learning audience, but it is the secondary audience that we should also consider.

Yoda Was Wrong. There Is Try In Learning.

Tell me why I’m wrong instead of Yoda.

Or, tell me what you want to try.

Real Learning And Ideal Learning Are Not Opposites

This vlog discusses something that Tim Villegas brought up yesterday, the real vs. ideal learning environment. I believe that is a false dichotomy and we can visit the ideal learning environment daily.

We Need Digest Learning Instead Of Notification Learning

This one is in response to Kevin Honeycutt’s vlog that challenged me to consider how learners should manage a digital life. My theory goes like this: We should stop aggregating and start curating, stop notifying and start digesting.

The tools I discuss are:

Learning Doesn’t Come From Experts, It Comes From Engaged Expertise

I had a conversation with one of my favorite people today, Kevin Honeycutt. And he challenged me on the nature of expertise. To which I am responding in this video that I outline engagement as the missing piece of an expert’s toolkit.

Learning Should Be Ironed Out

This vlog contains excerpts from Syd’s previous video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vf4QNg-yZU), and it focuses on an idea from Paul Thomas Anderson (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000759/) that identities and stories should be ironed out over time.
